Kolkata and The Eden Gardens have a very rich history when it comes to Indian cricket and I look forward to contributing to this rich history and making our fans proud of us as a team!

The situations and roles can change based on conditions, and you can't basically rely on a certain player to anchor the innings. If it's your day, you need to go all out and see to it that you win the match for the team. "Basically, the responsibility has to be taken by all players in the team - to go out there and win the match and not rely on other players. For me, personally, I feel No. 3 is my position because I love to bat...
